LVI.

But Juan was my Moscow, and Faliero

My Leipsic, and my Mont Saint Jean seems Cain:[586] La Belle Alliance of dunces down at zero,

Now that the Lion's fallen, may rise again:

But I will fall at least as fell my Hero;

Nor reign at all, or as a monarch reign;

Or to some lonely isle of gaolers go,

With turncoat Southey for my turnkey Lowe.[KY]
